I don't know jscott...I get the rationale behind gun "restrictions". But it's a direct violation of the constitution for the govt. to do it.
The Founding Fathers knew that govt. is the most dangerous thing we have. Our govt. has killed more people than any group of crazy people with a gun ever will.
And not everyone wants to be put on an FBI database like a common criminal just for buying a gun.
Hell, I know some older folks who refuse to give their Social Security number to banks! And they are right. We aren't supposed to give it to anybody. But we all end up giving it to everybody from the bank to the power company.
And then people wonder why their "identity" gets stolen. lol
If we really want to bow down to the Federal Govt. (the same bunch who spy on us, get us into wars, have done things to cause people to become "terrorists" worldwide, ran up 20 trillion in debt, etc., etc.) and disarm ourselves...then it should be done the RIGHT way.
Amend the Constitution.
Even if you just want to give the govt. the right to restrict guns in ANY way...the constitution needs to be amended.
There is a reason that guns are the 2nd amendment and not the 10th or 11th.
The Founding Fathers knew (from fighting a bloody war against an oppressive govt.) the danger of govt. and the need for power to remain with the people.
Over the decades we've given up so much power to the Federal Govt. that most of us think that's the way it's supposed to be.
